Please don't jump to conclusions yet. This has been observed in European common frogs so if your advances towards, say, Tasmanian toad, have been refused and the toad appears to be dead, it might be, in fact, dead.

  Yes, this post right here, officer.
  
  Really as a scientist you can be smart enough to discover such a thing, but apparently that's no guarantee you're also smart enough to keep it to yourself
Now, I know why women I approach were inexplicably dead. They weren't dead, they were playing dead to avoid me.
- Found the frog.
  
  On the internet, nobody knows you're really a frog
Sounds like my wedding night!
- Haha. That was my wedding night. Funny and sad in equal measure.
Ladies, men hate this one simple trick!
Same girly, same
